It has been our intention, in sending you these bulletins, to -
better inform you of the progress of your local college and to "
recall for some of you pleasant days gone by. We hope that ~
our purpose has in some sense been achieved and that you ~
have enjoyed our news letters.
In my last chat with you, I should like to point out again -
that the opportunities for developing a program of community **
services on the college level here in Rochester are unsurpassed -
in the Northwest. The continuation of such a program on both
an academic and vocational level will not only serve our young
people but will materially strengthen the economy of our city. ~
It has been one of my regrets that building limitations have ~
seriously hampered this development, but I shall leave my du- "
ties as Dean with the earnest hope that what we on fhe staff Z
have in the past envisioned may not be long delayed.
I should like to extend warmest thanks to the citizens of
Rochester for their cooperation during my tenure as Dean. ~
Whatever may have been accomplished is due to their support, ~
to the work of a faculty which has the welfare of the young ~
people of the community at heart, and always to an earnest Z
student body.

ip by American and Norwegian French.
J. C. Fetes
High Schools
The Rochester Junior College
annual Open House, which has
become an important tradition at
J. C, was held March 20 for high
school seniors attending Rochester, Lourdes, and area high
schools. Sponsored by the faculty and students, the Open
House was instituted for the purpose of acquainting high school
students with the vocational train- ■
ing and the various academic
courses offered in colleges and
universities.
Seniors had the opportunity to
observe the facilities of the college in tours conducted by members of the Varsity Club and to
secure specific information on the
college programs in group meetings led by instructors in the various divisions of the school. Explanations were given on the Science, Literature, and Arts course,
the pre-professional courses—agriculture, business, education, den-
distry, engineering, forestry, law,
medicine, nursing, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, medical technology—and on the vocational
courses—medical secretarial, business administration, engineering
aid, general secretarial, business
machines, and ophthalmic optics.
These meetings, together with
the opportunity for private conferences with instructors, prove of
real service to the students who
plan additional education in either the academic or vocational
areas. In addition, the visitors
viewed demonstrations of the latest classroom techniques, interesting experiments in the various
laboratories, displays on the bulletin boards, and testing devices
used in the Counseling Bureau.
Students were then invited to
the school cafeteria for a buffet
supper and program. Thomas
Hennessey presided as Master of
Ceremonies, and special numbers
were furnished by the Faculty
Quartet and by J. C.'s amateur
magician, Charles Martin. As a
conclusion to the entertainment,
seniors were invited to the annual
college play, Good Housekeeping.
College Contributes
To City Prosperity
The advantages which the Rochester Junior College brings to the
city of Rochester in holding approximately 200 high school graduates
for an additional two years might be expressed in terms of dollar
value to the community. It has been estimated: that a total of $5,000,-
000 would not be an excessive figure in attempting to arrive at the
amount contributed by students to the circuit flow of money in Rochester during the past 37 years. College students do make an exceedingly valuable contribution to the economic, social and religious
life of our city. Our local business and professional institutions are
especially aware of the value which can be attached to the human
resources which are made available as a result of the Junior College
program. The demand for college students by our commercial institutions for part-time and full-time employment has exceeded the
supply during the past 20 years. The rapid expansion of business
and professional institutions in Rochester would seem to indicate that
the college curriculum and physical plant must continue to keep pace
with fhe educational demands of the city.
College Dean
Honored at
Texas Meet
Dean Roy W. Goddard was
elected an honorary life member
of the American Association of
Junior Colleges at the annual convention recently held in Dallas,
Texas. The seventh person to be
so honored in thirty-three years,
the Dean was chosen to receive
the award because of the outstanding service he has rendered
over the years to the junior college movement. Coming on the
eve of his resignation from the
post of Dean of the Rochester
Junior College, it is a fitting culmination to a notable career in
the educational world.
His best efforts have been expended on the institution which
he heads. Rochester Junior College has been his career, and
stands,as tangible evidence of his
ability and foresight. In its broad
program, its well-balanced vocational and academic classes, its
excellent standards, are evident
the competence of its leader.
In honoring him thus, the American Association of Junior Col-
leges recognizes outstanding
achievements which have made
their impact felt in junior colleges
throughout the United States.
In a consideration of the money
kept in circulation by Rochester
college students, a survey, including 92 college students, revealed
total earnings of $84,393.47 during the year 1948. The average
student income for that year was
$844.61. These figures include
the subsistance received by students entitled to G. I. benefits.
A similar study was made again
on March 17, 1952 (the last day
for income tax reports) and included 25 students in a class in
Personal Finance. The total earned by this group during 1951 was
$22,155.49, or an average of
$886.22 per student. These two
limited samples clearly indicate
that Junior College students do
take advantage of the opportunities for earning a substantial
amount of money while attending
the regularly scheduled day
classes, and that the availability
of this labor supply is a valuable
asset to the city of Rochester.
Former Echo Editor
Graduates from U.
In June, Greta Nelson, '51, will
graduate with honors from the
University of Minnesota College
of Education and is one of a number of honor students to be feted
by the Minneapolis Junior Chamber of Commerce. Greta is especially remembered at J. C. for
her outstadning work in dramatics
and journalism, as well as for her
excellent scholastic record.
